Myofascial Release: History of Fascia

Fascia comprises 15% of total body weight and 25% of total body water.  Its triple helix collagen structure gives fascia a tremendous tensile strength.  It is the tensile strength that is responsible for the fascia as a necessary component in the biotensegrity model.  Gordon Zink, D.O. presented a model for fascial distortion as part of normal compensation and therefore determinative in abnormal compensation to trauma.  Dr. Zink’s theories are coupled with other osteopathic ideas of fascial compensation with regard to emotional as well as physical trauma.
